- Dry lake beds are a great place to find new, never before discovered meteorites. In this episode, the terrain of the bed provides spectacular visuals and high-speed action as Geoff and Steve cover as much ground as possible, looking for dark rocks against the light coloured sand.
-
For thousands of years, meteorites have slammed into the Earth's surface carrying an invaluable record of the origins of our solar system. But finding meteorites on Earth, some buried over centuries by thick layers of dirt and sediment, is no easy task.
Meteorite hunters Steve Arnold and Geoff Notkin travel to some of the most remote locations around the world to explore the scientific and financial value of meteorites. Featuring treks in Chile, Sweden, Australia, the US, Mexico, and more, these meteorite men meet with top scientists, geologists, astronomers, and meteorite experts to reveal a deeper understanding of how meteorites have helped to build our solar system and shape our planet.

That snowy peak is Robert's Mountain, so this lake bed must be, 39Deg 53' 48.36" N 115Deg 58' 29.10" W Easy Peasy.
Yep, I think I know the area, sorta.
@Muslim Alhamdulillah hi man, Do you have messenger? I'm interested in one of your chondrites from marocco
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 🤫
😢😅
Step 1. Google Earth a dry lake bed.
Step 2. Go to dry lake bed.
Step 3. Find meteorite.
Step 4. Sell meteorite.
Step 5. Retire or repeat step 1.
I have so many meteorites but I don't know where to sell. Help me. Thanks.
Sunny just shows his most valuable $700,000 find that doesn't stick to a magnet. An hour later, "Right colour, no stick." and over the shoulder it goes.
80% is fake....
So, we know the rocks we are looking for here has metal in them…the one Sonny found didnt. The meteorites without metal have a different look, their color is effected by the iron.
@@FireballSteve most meteorites are stony, vs iron.
I've said that to myself repeatedly he found a $700 per gram 699 G carbonaceous chondrite but tells Steve Arnold that it's the right color but it's nothing and throws it over its shoulder when there are plenty of carbonaceous chondrite I have several carbonaceous chondrites and they barely stick to a magnet I don't know I'm with you though on all that
He did whip out a 10x loop and gave a closer look but I have a hard time just tossing away a stone that I cannot readily identify. Especially at $700 a gram. However the odds of finding a carbonaceous meteorite are greater than just finding a stony iron hence the spike in price per gram.
Every where got meteorites,but we didn't realize that.
When I was child, I found many stones that interacted with magnet.but I threw it.
Alot of talk about how secret the locationis,then shows it on map...🙄
Hi Meteorite Men! One overlooked way small rocks can quickly move is birds, such as ravens, pick them up and drop them elsewhere. On this ranch we always find fresh golf balls, but nobody around here plays golf. We have a lot of ravens though. Another point is, at another site, in an area historically used for shooting practice over many decades, we find lots of broken glass right where we looked the day before, and where we've looked regularly for ten years. Reasons: The sun glints off the glass only at certain angles, and you have to catch that right angle or you will miss it. Also, there are a lot of ground squirrels in that area, always digging. And a rain will always reveal new pieces you didn't see the day before because it cleans the dust off so they shine better. Finally I will add, it is well-known in gold prospecting, you have a better chance of finding gold where other people have found a lot of gold. No matter how many times people work such an area, there is always more gold that they missed.
why wouldnt you have a large long magnet just off the ground with a couple wheels on it so you can cover a larger area - also hot water bottle in your coat to keep warm :)
Yes, such a magnet rake could work (see our Chile episode) but these were pretty easy to spot.
Secret sight?? All you have to do is look at the mountains in the back ground and I bet you could find it pretty fast. I lived in NV and I even know just about where they are. They even said close to area 51. 🤔😬
Lmao i actually found it after looking for less than a minute on google maps
@@juniordouw6681 It's all about the hype and attracting the clicks. If it was so secret, they wouldn't have said NW Nevada, ans shown a picture. Assuming it's a shot of the actual lake, which I would assume NOT to be unique in meteorite availability.
@@juniordouw6681 and e CT
I've seen two meteorites hit the Earth the first one was in Colorado with a 20-foot flame on it hit the ground in the second one was in California I live in Japan right now and I was wondering if you could buy 1 the meteorites that you have sound let me know if I could buy one thank you it's a great show that I'm watching
You saw one hit the ground in Colorado? Like the literal impact? Where was this? I'm from Colorado
I was on the highway going to steamboat springs and I it was at night time and I saw it hit in the woods and I could when I looked up and then after that I seen the lights of steamboat springs which probably would have been in the 15 minutes driving time to steamboat springs that's my best guess
Some soils or sands will push large rocks to the surface under the right conditions. This area may be constantly cycling meteorite fragments to the surface.
Stop lying
@@collinsoconnor5843 🤦♂️
I believe that. I found a crazy spot. !
Ask any farmer. It's called frost heave, mostly.
Its true, when you farm you notice rocks seem to grow, they get pushed up which i believe is due to frost. Also tillage of fields tend to drag rocks to the surface, anyone who farms where there are rocks will tell you that notill is the best thing as it doesn't drag the rocks up.
Somewhere I have photos of a meteorite close to the ground when I got off work at Wal-Mart one early spring morning,surprised me,,2 airliners tipping so people could watch it fly below them. So bright it was hard to watch,took picture of it in the way home that morning,,the smoke trail was right along old olympic hiway,,
How do you know if you have a meteor? I guess it would help if I could remember where I found it. It's softball size, metallic, nonmagnetic, and very heavy.
Ask ASU, I guess.
A battery powered impact would be a good investment for a couple old fellows like them, i used one once and haven't picked up a 4 way again since. Best tool in my kit now that im getting older.
Have you thought about Lake Mead it's drying up..
good point
I loved this show, and seasons , then it got canceled:(
this episode is like 10 years old
Nope, 12 years ago is when we made it
Dry lake beds: good for secret military installations. 💥💥💥
Shhhh!
large pieces maybe under the lakebed surface still? Many pound objects falling at several hundred MPH should have penetrated surface by some feet. Sounds like a job for your towed metal detector. Can you tune it to ignore any target smaller than, say, a baseball? Your videos absolutely fascinate me!
depends on whether it fell before or after the lake drained, if there was still water there during the impact then it wouldnt have penetrated the earths surface
I believe that particular meteorite hit down at the base of the mountains and over the tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years dr. Lawrence Garvey said how old it was due to the desert varnish thickness and just B by B overtime started being pushed out onto the bed
The southwest U. S. has some gorgeous areas for rockhounding! Beautiful scenery, also.
Great off grid camping too.
So dude just carries a $700k meteorite around with him
Yes, when the tv producers ask him to bring it, he did.
This! Great comment!
They Are Where Burning Man is Held.
Okay, somebody educate me. You find a meteorite with fossils in it? The explanation is that it hit a shallow sea so that is why they have fossils in it. Are they claiming the meteorite became molten and impacted a shallow bed of matter and it fossilized the creatures? I thought meteorites stayed solid with some melting on the outside.
The rock they cut in half that had the fossils wasn't part of a meteor, it was material the meteor hit and distorted/deformed into something new, like a conglomerate of several different materials.
@@heavymetalredneck7973 Thanks, that makes sense.
Nah. I like you the way you are. ;-)
He found Breccia, an impactite, that formed when the silicates in the ground that took the impact of the meteorite melted and conglomerated thus resulting into the Breccia. Moldavite is formed under the same circumstances, and sometimes from lightning strikes. Moldavite is a pretty green transparent glassy mineral that was probably discovered first by the Egyptians due to the use of Moldavite in their jewelry.
I know exactly where this is at. Been there before. Before I got into meteorites. Road trip soon.
I have several flat and rounded stone pebble like an inch or half inch but have white color with black or gray spots. Tan with white spots and black spots some green tent can see shiny flakes in them and when I put magnet to them they all stick. Are magnetic with shiny things with in and when filed on with metal file I could see round shiny spots some clear and white
They run land speed records on dry lake beds check out the movie called "The Indian" about a souped up Indian motorbike
There are a few that can be used in that fashion, but there are some which are strongly protected from vehicles.
just thinking if im out in the desert with a man holding a £700.000 rock, well lets just say i would at least have the decency to bury him with his dog 🤷♂🤷♂🤣🤣
Secret place but they tell us where it is lol?
Surely you don’t believe they gave you the real directions to a place that made them 8000.00? Why would they do that?
The southwest U.S. has some beautiful gorgeous scenery also pretty
Love that 33 ORANGE jacket man! LOL!
Thanks, it was my favorite, I’ve switched to yellow now
Dr. Meenakshi Wadhwa is the real find on this show🤩
RUclips distraction from my favorite sites!
Secret location, eh? Took me thirty seconds to find it... 🙂
yo
I've metal detected and Artifact hunted for years logging hundreds of hrs and never found anything like what these guys pull on the regular 🤔
Im going to start looking in creeks and fields when im arrowhead hunting.....You never know what you may walk up on!
It reminds me of the gold hunters that find a nice nugget. Every. Single. Hunt. See: "Salting a claim."
Lol...in this case, it's called editing.
So Who pay the money gor these rocks? Good senario also
I often sell on eBay…
32:32 omg that dog🤣🤣
I just love it when I get the notification that says "someone has liked your comment" or "someone has subscribed!" From Call of Duty supporters or cool people!😍❤ THANK YOU'
They need to remove public subscriber option; ~ fifteen times someone subbed than un subbed too draw attention⚠ to themselves.
Liked your comment 👍🕊️👌
Superb 💜💜💜
From Seoul Korea♥♥
They were lakes 10-11 thousand years ago, not 2-3.
Hey I have a find here in Tennessee I also have one of those non magnet rock like you spoke of its black and heavy probably 6"L x 2"leftx4" right
I've seen one meteorite hit Earth. It was the dinosaur killer. Boy am I lucky to be alive.
Awesome science, Documentary.....!!!
Opalised Meteors are even rarer. lol
Dude should at least have a bike and trailer for gear......his dog could ride in it
Hola Frank ismael frsnk yo soy piloto te dire todo indica que el mal tiempo fue el culpable
No todos los pilotos pueden volar en msl tiempo yo vuelo aviones y helicopteros el helicoptero es mas dificil en mal tiempo pero te comento el error mas grande es no estar al dia cuando hay poca visibilidad cuando esto pasa los polotos tienden a volar bajito error error error hay que volar mas al to i decender cuando llegues al otro punto osea donde vas aterrizar todo indica estos pilotos no sabian lo que estaban haciendo si hubieran tenido experiencia ellos se hubieran trepado alto y hubieran salido bien pero no volaron bajito no ven no saben si estsn virando o derecho entonces empiezas a sentir cosas que no estan pasando y el mamechazo sin renedio este helicoptero le dio a la montaña a velocidad crucero como sunos a130 nudis o 160 millas por hora sin remadios piloto no es todo el mundo ahora echan la culpa al helicoptero ahi no hay ninguna caja negra no hey nada mas wue la experiencia del piloto para pasar el mal tiempo yo fui piloto del governador de puertorico en los 80 y estos individuossempujan que es una barvaridad y tienes que hacer el vuelo como quiera pero el piloto tiene la ultima palabra cojio miedo y se fueron todos
Well it looks like Eureka, Nevada. I’m just curious where you are able to sell the rocks 🪨 I assume that you probably could sell them at Quartzite, AZ during the flea market.

They should stand out like a grain of sand on a tennis court. Hype, hype, hype.
Life on earth started when a interstellar RV visited earth billions of years ago … right before departure the family dumped the black water tank … nothing here but an infection !

Hi can u tell us where to sell meteorites
SOS.....SOS mayday I
I think I saw what was a meteorite inbound here in Central Texas over a period of several nights all in the same general direction/location. It's possible that it was a satellite breakup but I don't think so as they came in at an angle steeper than 45o and lasted over several nights. They could have descended during the day but just not as noticeable due to the daylight.
CAN. U. MAKE. ENOUGH. TO. PAY. FOR. THE. GAS. ? WHERE. DO. U. SELL. EM. ?
Congrats meteorite men Steve & Jeof for work you do,that hardwork need respect.AMAZING
Okay ❤
The value of meteorites is not what said in the video! May be before 2008 it was! It was rare yeah but once in the past! Now there are meteorites everywhere and thousands and tons of them! Not rares at all! That makes them cheapest!
What kind of absolute idjits deliberately go out in the back country sans SPARES? In a pickup? Come on, even I know better than that! With spare tire on hand, a flat wouldnt be that big a deal.
I recently saw the contents of asteroid Bennu capsule.
They looked identical to 3 stones that I found in the middle of a frozen lake, too fart to have been thrown and no tracks anywhere near. Curious if asteroid chunks could survive reentry..
I loved this show on TV, I wish it was still produced. Glad I can watch it on youtube
The most mountainous state in the us is…. Nevada
I am interested in this exact subject but I’m not going to watch this video only because you do not reveal the location. I am not a rock hunter nor do I know anyone whom is but I feel that secrets as such like this is not theirs to keep. This earth does not belong to them. Secrets usually follow along with liars and thieves. I don’t like any of those things personally.
See all tje posts pointing out that the location is easily found. 'Secret' is video hype.
32:46🤣😲🤣
Salton Sea is that site
Very cool
32:00🤣🤣
Sir I have a stone found in the river of sta.rita here in Zambales North it is black and has an inclusion of white material and it is magnetic Philippines.
What does it mean when you find a black stone, a magnet works on it. Yet I've tried 4 different metal detectors, not one picks them up? I had a USGS worker say he would take it in to determine what they was made of. Now he won't respond anymore, it's been over 3 years now. It also has like a crystal formation on it. I have a hard time trusting people now
That sucks. 😔 Scientists should have integrity.
I agree, I've tried to contact him over 20 times now
Bro he done sold ur sht and retired on the beach
You got f’d in the A. Don’t trust university people
I could build you a rover that will look for items and it could be manually operated from miles away (even hundreds if a microwave repeater is around) or it could be 100% autonomous. It will log all hits and then on the nice days people can come out and excavate.
That's a great idea!!!
Where's the fun in that?
The location isn't "secret" anymore lol. Why would you show maps if you were trying to hide it?
i got some special pieces in different sizes and shapes directly from the impact site ..if you like to have an outer space materials please put a comment so we can communicate
I want to find someone like these meteorite hunters because a know where one is here in Australia the size of a truck engine , flew over my head low slow and I mean real low and slow
Could i send you some pics of what i have found
im new to treasure hunting
so i would like other peoples views thankyou
I have so many meteorites but I don't know where to sell. Help me. Thanks.
I could do that whole dry lakebed in a day with an ATV and my magnet roller scraper bucket attachment.......drive along and the magnetic stuff sticks gets picked up then scraped off into the bucket so I wouldn't have to stop
ATV’s are not allowed on that land, big fines
Yo. They found all the meteors on top, could you not wait until a storm and go pick them up on a stone/meteor shoal?
big lie, when a meteorite falls to the ground, it makes a crater, insignificant, which is the size of a meteorite
Hi Sir! How can you know the place that meteorite fallen down from the sky?
I got one meteorite very small,where can I send the picture for those interested pls. Message me..
big lie, when a meteorite hit the ground, it makes a crater, insignificant, which is the size of a meteorite
It's a "secret location" ...a true sign of a "scripted" show.
Have a video regarding meteorite stone hopefully u can help me find a buyer
I like how he said he doesn't want to share the location but then they provide it precisely on a map lol
55% of all videos is the same ..... we see the same every 5 min
I'd love to buy a real genuine meteorite rock! Small is fine. How do I buy one, and make sure I'm not giving money away for a regular rock. Of course your teaching us how to identify meteorites. Would you possibly sell me one? I'm just amazed, and crazy about meteorites. I'm a rock hounder myself up here in Maine.
Topherspin meteorites is a reliable source for obtaining real ones.
What kind of magmatic they use please tell me
Rare earth magnets not a refrigerator magnet
I know this place I’ve been wanting to stop on my way thru but never get a chance
Happy to see you looking for meteorite I have stone meteorite I want to sell
How can I know the place where the meteorite fell to research?
how the hell do you get two flats driving on well maintained roads?
polarized sunglasses are better
How do i get one tested? Its magnetic, grey stripe on ceramic.
❤ very yusful video thanks 🙏 for sharing
Finding space rocks near area 51...spooky
Try finding book. Like breathing in a fresh air lol
I found meteorite here in the Philippines how to sell
You're not too helpful. Supposed to be a secret.
maybe hunt in spring next time lol
Where can i buy one from you? :) Please reply
Meteorite type;
“ A Stone Chondrite “,
Type, “Carbonaceous Chondrite”
I already had a museum look at it.
Hello’s to everyone,
A little heads up, There’s absolutely No Question(‘s) Whatsoever I have an Awesome Stone ( ‘Meteorite’ )
In fact, It’s more like a long pointing Egg Shape Rock 🪨 Resembling a Incredible Torpedo that was traveling rapidly shooting through the atmosphere for billions of years in extreme inertia Blazing on fire melting away.
The shape alone tells the story,
It’s honestly an Eye Dropping Stone, Way Bigger and kinda way Way more Beautiful, Yes and Incredible meteorite like this one in the video.
It’s in my very possession that even towers the stone in this video no question. I have not seen anything anywhere resembling or no where near this actual meteorite.
On This RUclips Video…,
Dry Lake Beds:
The Best Place To Find Meteorites
| On Meteorite Men |
Exactly @ 0:44 Second’s within this actual video.
My question are, What are the proper correct and next steps? Museum’s, Studies, Having it registered perhaps.
I’m not even at the appraisal state,
TC, Thank you for your time.
I have found a couple of rocks that are magnetic could I send you some pictures
I'm New to treasure hunting so would like other people's views
Thankyou
where an isell my unadentified meteorite at
eu quero ver caindo do céu e achar o meteorito
